Finite Element Durability & Fatigue Life
Elastomer Materials Fatigue
Finite Element Analysis of Durability and Fatigue Life: Vibration Fatigue, Creep, Welded Structures Fatigue, Elastomer and Composite Fatigue
Developers of rubber materials, components and systems increasingly rely on simulation as a routine means to address design issues. For metallic components, solutions for fatigue analysis from FEA have existed commercially for many years and have become an essential part of maturing and qualifying design concepts in many industrial sectors. Using modern multiaxial strain based fatigue methods enable us to simulate the fatigue analysis of elastomer materials and Rubber.
The wider discipline
Durability & Fatigue Life
Based on what we want to Design and Analysis, Stress, Strain or temperature from finite element (FE) software such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, NASTRAN, LS-Dyna, MSC Marc etc used. The industry-leading fatigue Simulation technology such as Simulia FE-SAFE, Ansys Ncode Design Life and FEMFAT used to calculate fatigue life of multiaxial, welds, short-fibre composite, vibration, crack growth, thermo-mechanical fatigue.
